This pub and restaurant hasn't changed in the last few years we've been going there, and it still suffers being located just around the corner from Queen Mary & Westfield college. Last time we were there, it was a bit grim,...

This place starts off very well - an impressive conversion of one of the previous homes of the <a href="http://www.halfmoon.org.uk/aboutus/abouthalfmoon/companyhistory.html" target="_blank">Half Moon...

Small pub that's been given a pale wood makeover. Fear not though, as this isn't a bland All Bar One intrusion into the East End heartlands. Very much the sort of bantering backstreet boozer you'd imagine to find in these...

Like its famous neighbour the Grapes, this pub enjoys a splendid location on the Thames. It has a fair history too, being originally a barge builders and later an inn called the Waterman's Arms. Although there's no river...
